Kitchen waste is converted into organic fertiliser every month, thanks to an initiative by the Al Ain Municipality in Liwa, Abu Dhabi. The organic fertiliser has minimised the use of chemical fertilisers in Al Ain, paving the way for eco-friendly agricultural practices, said an executive of a private company, which has been assigned by the Municipality to treat the city’s garbage. “Out of 800 to 1,200 tonnes of garbage collected daily from the city, more than half comes from kitchen waste and remnants of plants and trees collected by a landscaping company. They never include sludge or human waste,” said Wail Saod Deebah, sales manager of Emirates Environmental Technology Company in Al Ain.
